I am getting massive lag spikes when using the repo as of the latest update. I tried removing all mods and clearing cache. Sometimes the lag spike turns into a complete freeze requiring the process to be terminated. I have the game installed on an external HDD if that makes any difference.

The lag seems to be happening when it is unzipping the files. Is the performance of the unzipping somehow worse?

I think the repo is breaking the game…
I was in "Safe Mode" because I had to check a thing I experienced in the "Normal Mode"; the repo started downloading an update for a mod (a map so it's pretty large to download) and when I pressed "EXIT" in the main menu, the game froze (unfortunately it didn't crash) blocking me to get to any other app. I could press CTRL+ALT+DEL and launch the task manager, but sadly, the game refused to go in background, so I couldn't end BeamNG process.
Is there any way I can unsubscribe from a mod before it finishes the download?

Normal-ish.
The game is preventing you to get a corrupt/incomplete file (which you'd get if you kill the game process while it's downloading something).
The game would have resume and closed as soon the download finished.

At the moment you cannot stop a download if it has already started. But you can turn off the Automatic Mod Updates from the settings.

Hey just a question, would it be possible to have a load/save option for the AI app? Something like I set up all the ai stuff, topspeed, chase, targetcar, and so on. then save it, and then being able to load those settings for any other car (Would make setting up 60+ AI cars a lot easier)

Soooo...I tried updating my game via steam like, 5 hours ago and ever since, it never actually completed downloading the second hotfix. It's always 90%-100% done but never finishes and never opens. When I let it keep going, it just says "Connection Timeout" and goes back to 'Update Pending'. Verifying Integrity via Steam isn't doing much as it simply says 'all files are successfully validated' but it still doesn't work.

I think I restarted and shut down my laptop maybe, 7 times already, but that never worked.

I looked on the steam community tab for Beam (Because this sounds like a Steam problem) and maybe a few hours earlier, someone talked about I think the same problem, and Nadeox1 said there was an issue with the files or something seeming to be flagged and blocked or something.

I thought adding an Exclusion for every folder inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive but it did nothing, still not doing anything. I also scanned that folder and Windows Defender didn't find any viruses (Wouldn't be very surprised if that's just Windows Defender being stupid)

The Force Induction Debug app is broken for me as of 0.14.0.1(i don't know about 0.14.0.0) and is still broken in 0.14.0.2, I have tried clearing the games cache and verifying the games integrity, safe mode and multiple restarts of my PC. Also what happened to the Creator Console? seems to no longer be enabled and now there is no option to even enable it?
